Volvo’s new range-toping sedan S90 will be unveiled at 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January. Images of this upcoming model have already been released by Swedish brand itself. According to some sources, Volvo is teaming up with Microsoft to jointly introduce some new technologies in upcoming cars.

Under the hood, it will have 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It will be paired to eight-speed transmission and optional Haldex All-wheel-drive. It is also expected that Volvo will eventually offer plug-in hybrid variant of S90 with 408 hp. Volvo’s new model in the market will face BMW 5 Series, new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, Jaguar XF, and Lexus GS.
V90 is the most anticipated model of Swedish brand. Car enthusiasts are expecting many advanced technologies in this model considering it will be the new flagship product. Volvo S90 sedan will go on sale in next fall as 2017 model.
